My Dad owned the Orphanage. Invested in it because Von Seltzer married his 2nd wifes daughter, who talked him into it. It was a wild ride through the rock 70’s and I had the best damn times getting educated in not what to do. Places like this made San Francisco the magical place it was and still is.
SoI guess we are kinda related then. William was my father. I say was because he passed away last year. And yes, Cathy was of course my mother. Miss her dearly.
Video of the Orphanage can be seen in the Streets of San Francisco Season 1 Episode 2 (The First Day of Forever).
